Show Notes
Together, they discuss what sparked Mark's interest in early British portraiture, taking advantage of the Business Expansion Scheme under Margaret Thatcher's government to grow the business, and why it's essential to learn from one's mistakes. Mark emphasizes the significance of reputation and trust in the industry, valuing the old-fashioned principles of word-of-mouth agreements and handshake deals.
